Free standing sculpture - based on stacked suitcases; meant to surprise the passer by. Part of a series of works - souvenirs made of the very materials of travel. The suitcases have a strong form yet when they are cut and edged they become ghosts of their former selves, they are transformed into the secret destinations of our dreams. Here the pilgrimage to a religious site.
